The studios rooftop is by far the largest and most varied invisible predator challenge environment.
Panessa Film Studios is crawling with advanced militia forces in this challenge, and you have to clear them all out. Mixed into their ranks here are optic deflection troops who can disappear from Detective Mode scans, and a Boa Sentry drone controller. The drone operator works from one of the area’s lower hallways, remotely piloting a surveillance drone up top. The rooftop is so big that this drone doesn’t have to be a problem as long as you keep track of where it is, but beware that if you lose track of it, it has the altitude to spot you even on vantage point perches above the action. The drone patrols as long as its operator is conscious, so you could just take him out, but you can’t get three stars that way. Like with “Revive and Shine,” one of your main objectives is to leave the specialty unit for last, but that’s actually easier here as long as you’re mindful of the drone’s position. With Detective Mode on, you can see a line linking the Boa drone with its pilot.
There are high and low tiers to the studios rooftop, and patrols all over the place.
Several areas have flimsy, destructible walls, perfect for fulfilling the Explosive Gel objective.
Every conceivable form of lure and Takedown is possible in this dense, layered area.
The weak walls near the drone controller help fulfill another objective, using the Voice Synthesizer to lure a guard into a prepared Explosive Gel trap. Just direct an enemy unit to investigate near where you’ve prepped a flimsy wall to explode, then set it off. If you leave the drone controller alone in the underhalls till he’s the only one left, you can clear two stars with your last action. Before that, you’ll have to earn another star with a five-stage Fear Multi-Takedown. You can’t pull this off before fully upgrading your Fear Multi-Takedown, but at least this challenge area has plenty of targets to line up once you do. As in other challenges, when you want guards to clump up together, take one of them down as a honeypot somewhere he will be noticed, then hide nearby. His being found by his accomplices puts them on high alert and sets them to searching the nearby area. Naturally, this is where you can pounce upon them unawares.
